Kids want to be on social media. They feel significant social pressure, especially when “everyone else” seems to have access. But the benefits don’t outweigh the risks. Not by a long shot. This is the digital mom's best advice on how and why to say no.
👉 5 MAIN MESSAGES 👉
✅ Not giving you social media is not a punishment, it's a safety decision. And, it's one I’ve spent a lot of time researching and thinking about.
✅ Not giving you social media isn’t because I don’t trust you—it's the virtual world and the strangers in it that I don’t trust.
✅ The dangers of social media are real. You may not be able to fathom the dangers or think they won’t happen to you but they really do happen to kids just like you.
✅ Social media was created for adults. The parental controls offered do not make it safe enough for teens.
I love you. Please remember that.
TALKING POINTS
Social Media Parental Controls were added well after these apps launched—largely in response to complaints and pressure, not because a teen use case was intentionally designed.
Here are some examples of where the Parental Controls fall short
YouTube has addictive & problematic content. Specifically, YouTube Shorts is built like the scrolling content feeds in TikTok or Instagram but there are no YouTube Shorts specific parental controls. The content controls are observably less consistent on Shorts than on regular YouTube.
TikTok has addictive & problematic content and data and privacy issues. While it does actually have fairly strict parental controls, TikTok is observably the most addictive. TikTok is also currently being sued by the DOJ for child data privacy concerns.
Instagram has addictive & problematic content AND unsafe private messaging. Instagram controls can’t definitively block strangers from reaching you. I cannot monitor messages.
Delay! Delay! Delay! No smartphones until the end of 8th grade and no social media until 16!
